#830 Goodbye to July

Last day of July and we can’t believe how fast it went by!!! Could it be that summer is truly halfway over? Quelle horreur!

Let’s see… we kicked off July with a bang (quite literally)… when we celebrated America’s birthday. Somehow it’s been nonstop ever since. Of course, I didn’t get to write nearly as much as I had hoped to, but hopefully these photos can tell a nice story and give you snippets of the latest and greatest. We’re a little bit in transit at the moment (mamma’s officially back to work full time, no off-ramp for this little lady!)… and we’re still waiting for our new construction to finish back in the lower east side (tick tock).

In the meantime, we did get a sneak peak of the new apartment, which was *uber* exciting, but also made me realize how much work remains to be done. My little sweet Rockshic Baby has been LOVING SUMMER CAMP (his first day was June 26, and it literally feels like a lifetime ago!!!). Can you believe that we've been planning for this since April of this year?? Then again, what’s not to love about camp? You get to play all day every day in the woods with your best buds – music, arts, yoga… swimming twice a day plus soccer, horseback riding, AND ice cream breaks? Can somebody sign me up for amazingness this please??

In other news…

Rockshic Baby turned 7 months!!! I find it increasingly difficult to keep up with my second baby and all of his milestone developments these days… anybody else feel this way? Little man is literally crawling everywhere, backwards and forwards, and it's becoming difficult to keep up!

I *finally* addressed some work-related stuff. You know, the ones I spoke about here and here and realistically EVERYWHERE. It only took me 6/7 months!

We took our oldest munchkin to the museum and checked out the Rauschenberg retrospective with friends, which was deeply meaningful to yours truly!

Rockshic Baby 2 commenced music classes on Long Island with Not Just Art!!! (Prior to this he’s only had one class at My Gym back in Naples, Florida when he was just 5 months). This was the same exact curriculum that his older brother did (we actually discovered Music Together in Naples!!!), and really, I’m kicking myself for not looking into this earlier. I tell ya, I’m harboring so much guilt with my youngest, always feeling like he’s being short-changed somehow.

Other than that… it’s been kind of just work work work work work (to quote Rihanna herself). More to come later, but in the meantime, I wish you all a very happy Monday!!! Here’s to August… with so much more to come. Just think -- we really only have five months left of 2017!!!
